Launching the NCC Forums
Author: Stan Guthrie
October 23, 2025
We’re thrilled to invite you to a powerful evening this Sunday at 7 PM at NCC, where Pastor Chris will present Michelangelo: Chiseled by Grace. This dramatic monologue explores the little-known spiritual journey of one of history’s greatest artists—a man haunted by doubt and shame, who ultimately finds freedom through God’s grace. What a great story for Reformation Sunday!
This free event is also a wonderful opportunity to share the gospel in a fresh and engaging way. We encourage you to come and bring friends, neighbors, and loved ones. Michelangelo’s story of transformation offers a meaningful bridge to conversations about faith, hope, and redemption.
Sunday’s presentation also marks the launch of our new initiative, starting this fall: NCC Forums, themed Celebrating Art, Ideas, and Everyday Wisdom. Through these gatherings, we aim to serve our community by offering thoughtful experiences that stir both heart and mind—with the gospel always at the center. We want NCC to be known as a place of welcome, creativity, and spiritual depth.
We believe NCC Forums will open new doors to reach our neighbors with the love of Christ. You don’t need to be an expert—just available. A warm smile and a simple invitation, backed by prayer, can make a lasting impact. Let’s begin now, trusting that the fields of Naperville are ripe for harvest.
Thank you for standing with us in this exciting new chapter of ministry. We look forward to seeing you this Sunday evening!
